End-to-end testing framework for DataHaven, providing automated network deployment, contract interaction, and cross-chain scenario testing. This directory contains all tools needed to launch a complete local DataHaven network with Ethereum, Snowbridge relayers, and run comprehensive integration tests.
For comprehensive documentation, see E2E Testing Guide.
- Kurtosis: For launching test networks
- Bun v1.3.2 or higher: TypeScript runtime and package manager
- Docker: For container management
- Foundry: To deploy contracts
- Helm: The Kubernetes Package Manager
If you are running this on a Mac, zig is a pre-requisite for crossbuilding the node. Instructions for installation can be found here.
You may also need to install libpq for PostgreSQL connectivity and set the appropriate Rust flags.
# Install libpq using Homebrew
brew install zig
# Install libpq using Homebrew
brew install libpq
# Set environment variables for Rust compilation
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/libpq/lib/pkgconfig"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix libpq)/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix libpq)/lib"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix libpq)/lib/pkgconfig"
# Add to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile) to persist
echo 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/libpq/lib/pkgconfig"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix libpq)/include"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix libpq)/lib"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix libpq)/lib/pkgconfig"' >> ~/.zshrc# Install dependencies

bun test suites/some-test.test.tsNOTES: Adding the environment variable INJECT_CONTRACTS=true will inject the contracts when starting the tests to speed up setup.
Our deployment tooling now separates “who becomes the ServiceManager owner” from “who executes the privileged post-deployment calls.” The knobs are:
| Flag / Env | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
--avs-owner-address / AVS_OWNER_ADDRESS |
Address set as avsOwner in the ServiceManager initializer. Required when targeting testnet/mainnet (Safe multisig). Falls back to config/<network>.json only for local/anvil. |
Local uses config value; non-local must supply. |
--avs-owner-key / AVS_OWNER_PRIVATE_KEY |
Private key used to sign owner-only calls the script performs (e.g. setSlasher). Only read when tx execution is enabled. |
Anvil default key if unset. |
--execute-owner-transactions (CLI) / `TX_EXECUTION=true |
false` (env) | Controls whether the script actually broadcasts owner calls. When disabled, we skip sending transactions and instead print ABI-encoded payloads that a Safe can execute. |
# Local/anvil developer run (executes owner txs immediately)
bun cli contracts deploy --chain anvil --avs-owner-key $LOCAL_OWNER_KEY --execute-owner-transactions
# Testnet deployment where ownership is a Safe (prints multisig payloads)
AVS_OWNER_ADDRESS=0x... bun cli contracts deploy --chain hoodi
# Force execution during launch/deploy automation (already the default)
bun cli launch --deploy-contracts --execute-owner-transactionsWhen tx execution is off, the CLI prints a list of {to, data, value} objects for:
updateAVSMetadataURI("")setRewardsRegistry(validatorsSetId, rewardsRegistry)setRewardsAgent(validatorsSetId, rewardsAgent)
Copy each object into your safe transaction builder (or preferred multisig workflow) to finalize the deployment.
To avoid deploying contracts everytime for each tests, you can generate and then inject state in the Ethereum client.
$ bun cli launch --all
$ make generate-ethereum-state
$ bun cli stop --all
The bun cli launch command deploys a complete local environment:
-
Ethereum Network (via Kurtosis):
- 2x Execution Layer clients (reth)
- 2x Consensus Layer clients (lodestar)
- Blockscout Explorer (optional:
--blockscout) - Dora Consensus Explorer
-
DataHaven Network:

- EVM compatibility via Frontier
- Fast block times (2-3s in dev mode)
- Fast churn settings (
--fast-runtimegives 1-minute epochs and 3-session eras while block time stays 6s)
-
Smart Contracts:
- EigenLayer AVS contracts deployed to Ethereum
- Optional Blockscout verification (
--verified)
-
Snowbridge Relayers:
- Beacon relay (Ethereum → DataHaven)
- BEEFY relay (DataHaven → Ethereum)
- Execution relay (Ethereum → DataHaven)
- Solochain relay (DataHaven → Ethereum)
-
StorageHub Components (optional:
--storagehub):- 1x MSP (Main Storage Provider) node with bcsv ecdsa key
- 1x BSP (Backup Storage Provider) node with bcsv ecdsa key
- 1x Indexer node with PostgreSQL database
- 1x Fisherman node
- Automatic provider registration via
force_msp_sign_up/force_bsp_sign_up
-
Network Configuration:
- Validator registration and funding
- Parameter initialization
- Validator set updates

Follow these steps to set up and interact with your local network:
-
Deploy a minimal test environment
bun cli launch
This script will:
- Check for required dependencies.
- Launch a DataHaven solochain.
- Start a Kurtosis network which includes:
- 2 Ethereum Execution Layer clients (reth)
- 2 Ethereum Consensus Layer clients (lodestar)
- Blockscout Explorer services for EL (if enabled with --blockscout)
- Dora Explorer service for CL
- Deploy DataHaven smart contracts to the Ethereum network. This can optionally include verification on Blockscout if the
--verifiedflag is used (requires Blockscout to be enabled). - Perform validator setup and funding operations.
- Set parameters in the DataHaven chain.
- Launch Snowbridge relayers.
- Perform validator set update.
[!NOTE]
If you want to also have the contracts verified on Blockscout, you can pass the
--verifiedflag to thebun cli launchcommand, along with the--blockscoutflag. This will do all the previous, but also verify the contracts on Blockscout. However, note that this takes some time to complete. -
Explore the network
- Block Explorer: http://127.0.0.1:3000.
- Kurtosis Dashboard: Run
kurtosis webto access. From it you can see all the services running in the network, as well as their ports, status and logs. - StorageHub Nodes (if launched with
--storagehub):- Alice (Validator): ws://127.0.0.1:9944
- MSP Node: ws://127.0.0.1:9945
- BSP Node: ws://127.0.0.1:9946
- Indexer Node: ws://127.0.0.1:9947
- Fisherman Node: ws://127.0.0.1:9948
When running bun cli launch the script appears to halt after the following:
## Setting up 1 EVM.
==========================
Chain 3151908
Estimated gas price: 2.75 gwei
Estimated total gas used for script: 71556274
Estimated amount required: 0.1967797535 ETH
==========================This is due to how forge streams output to stdout, but is infact still deploying contracts to the chain. You should be able to see in blockscout the deploy script is indeed still working.
Try running forge clean to clear any spurious build artefacts, and running forge build again. Also try deploying manually to the still running kurtosis network.
If you look at the browser console, if you see the following:
Content-Security-Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a resource (connect-src) at http://127.0.0.1:3000/node-api/proxy/api/v2/stats because it violates the following directive: "connect-src ' ...
this is a result of CORS and CSP errors due to running this as a local docker network.
Make sure you are connected directly to http://127.0.0.1:3000 (not localhost).
Alternatively, you can try installing a browser addon such as anti-CORS / anti-CSP to circumvent this problem.
In the /contracts directory, you can try to run forge clean and forge build to see if it fixes the issue.
I have found that ipV6 on Arch Linux does not play very nicely with Kurtosis networks. Disabling it completely fixed the issue for me.
If using Docker Desktop, make sure settings have permissive networking enabled.
If you've made changes to the runtime types, you need to re-generate the TS types for the Polkadot-API. Don't worry, this is fully automated.
From the ./test directory run the following command:
bun generate:typesThis script will:
- Compile the runtime using
cargo build --releasein the../operatordirectory. - Re-generate the Polkadot-API types using the newly built WASM binary.
Note
The script uses the --release flag by default, meaning it uses the WASM binary from ./operator/target/release. If you need to use a different build target, you may need to adjust the script or run the steps manually.
